Warning - Thief on the water

[Bueno Suerte]

Saturday AM my boat was robbed while I was wading. I still can not believe it.

I anchored up near Galveston on the north side of the old rail road bridge. (Never fished their before) set out for a wade and thought I saw someone near the boat. I started heading back that way and saw a guy that I had noticed kayaking get out of the water near my boat and then start walking along the shoreline rather quickly back to his Blazer carring some gear that looked a lot like mine.

When we made it back to the boat my spare rod and tackle bag was gone.

Here is a description of the suspected perp.

Bald
Big, cant guess at hight but #250 +.
White or light skined Hispanic
25-30 years old
Orange and Yellow small Kayak (fades front to back)
Light or "Electric" blue 4 dr Baby Blazer (Older model)

If you see him say hi for me, and pick another spot to wade.

(I have posted this at 2cool and TKF, FYI I am not looking to get my stuff back, I just want to warn other fishermen about this guy. If his is this bold, next time he may be dangerous)

Awww man!! That is very bold!! I had some lowlifes steal my kayak from under our boat house, but on the water, this is news to me! I will keep my eyes open very sorry about your situation.

What comes around goes around! That sucks that we can not even be on the water enjoying ourselves without some fat guy stealing people's gear. BTW, how the hell did the small yak fit his big arse!!!

[lurefisher]

Man I hATE THIEFS!

[imhammer]

That Sucks! I will sometimes wade a mile away from my boat. That leaves it very open to people like this guy.

Chip, we will find them one day and it won't be pretty. I don't care if he weights 250 plus... the bigger he is, the hard he falls or better yet, sinks

[Robalo]

Maybe the guy that stole Coe's yak is theiving with it now!!

If ya see a yak fitting the description-get a picture of him and his truck license plate and post it to see if Bueno Suerte recogniozes the bastage.

[nokatchin]

that blows.i bet the yak was stolen too

[crappieman32175]

That burns me up a man cant fish without getting his stuff robbed!!!!!

[bountyhunter]

Its amazing there are dirtbags everywhere now a days. No where is safe!

[FlatoutFishin]

I feel a sting operation coming down. Thieves are creatures of habit, I bet this wasn't the first time he's done this there.

Thats a ***** for sure and so was this, I just got a new Tundra and some little **** busted out my back sliding window just so he could still my radar detector. Once inside the cab they found my iPod in the glove box and cellular in the arm rest...truck still had paper plates.

That has happened twice to my younger brother at LA Fitness, so he quit going there and joined a club with security. Damn shame people can not work for a living instead of stealing from the people that do.

I had a jeep wrangler in college and it got broken into 3 times and after the 3rd, I realized having a radio and speakers just were not worth it anymore.

yeah we were on the putting green once carts parked near a road guy jumps out and jacks a golf bag!

[slyell]

if you see him.. just rev up the engine and blast by him next time! that will teach him =)
